The Drive, week of 5/16/11

Mon 5/16/11: 1973

Ringo to start, then internet problems.

Jackson Browne takes it easy, but Bob doesn't let the tune track into "Our Lady of the Well".  Skynyrd show up with "Simple Minded Man". Chicago feels stronger, Rick D does the hootchie-koo, and Stealer's Wheel are stuck.

betting AL's '73 today is more interesting.

Does Bob ever pass up a chance to include a Chicago song in his 10@10s whenever the year is appropriate? I realize they're a local band and all (how could one not?) but still. I swear, they show up at least once a week.

Bob hopes to pluck a dusky jewel. I hope to hear something I haven't heard a gazillion times.

BOS1 S&G, "America"

oh honey, "Hush".

BOS2 "Rocky Raccoon". "Her name was McGill, and she called hersellf Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy" --er, wha?

I'm at the point where I'd prefer to hear Faith Hill's country version of "Piece of My Heart". Does that make me a bad person?

TJ wants to crimson-and-clove her. Yum!  Bonus: the loooong version!

The Nuge takes a journey to the center of Mike Huckabee's mind. Scary shit.

always a BOS for Dusty and that goddamn SOP.

Yeesh, Kermit, er, Canned Heat go up the country and down the drain.

Thur 5/19/11: 1982

Yikes. Bob in the '80s.

But wait:  BOS and proxy of shray "Somebody's Baby".

Who can it be Katrining at my door? Someone in a slit skirt, perhaps?

the Money man is shakin' and America does magic -- VHM and proxy of Gaz.

VHM Lady Antebellum Alan Parsons. "I Need You Now Like I Need an Eye In the Sky".

even now, I'll give Seger a VHM.

Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby 
Men at Work - Who Can It Be Now 
Pete Townshend - Slit Skirts 
Eddie Money - Shakin' 
America - You Can Do Magic

Fri 5/20/11: the end of the world!!

a last-minute decision by Bob, bumping the previously-skedded 1970, bless his heart.

Zep, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" to start. heh.

Wilburys, "End of the Line". Hee.

BOS1 Def-Lep, "Armageddon It".

"Homeward Bound" -- that's cute.

yo, world -- I'm losin' you. OK, this one's a bit of a stretch, IMHO.

interesting: U2, but it's "Elevation" rather than "Until the End of the World".

BOS2 Psychedelic Pstones, "2000 Light Years From Home". Stevie Wonder's "Heaven is 10 Zillion Lightyears Away" would go nicely after this.... but no.

BOS3 "Ashes to Ashes" --I must say this set is more creative than I was expecting. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" indeed.

Wondering if Larry on the Sound will also do an armageddon set.

Ending (LOL) with REM, which Webster said was the (not surprising) #1 request from Fogheads. "That's great, it starts with an earthquake..."
